Since joining Fox 2 last year, Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Charlie LeDuff often has used the new medium to speak truth to power with a camera over his shoulder.

But what aired Thursday night can only be described as absurd.

LeDuff, jumping on the mullet meme 10 years after it was cool, asked his brothers and Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson to explain their poor choice of haircuts in the 70s and 80s.

And then, in what could be LeDuff's greatest triumph since interviewing Sam Riddle in the shower, he somehow convinced Patterson to sport a mullet wig and tank top while singing Rolling Stones karaoke at a Ferndale bar.

Check it out at the 4:55 mark. And as always, stay classy Oakland County.
